Title: Turkey on the Pellet Grill Questions
Post by: zueth on November 17, 2021, 08:45:52 PM

I have always used my Bradley to smoke Turkey and then finish in my big easy. I would like to cook the Turkey start to finish in my Rec Tec to make it easy. I am thinking 180 for first hour, then 250 for three hours, then crank it up to 400 until done. Thoughts?  Thinking about a 20lb bird.
Thanks.

Well I ended up doing the following times in the bull:

180 - 1 hr
250 - 2 hr
275 - 1 hr
350 - 1 hr

It was a 20lber that I brined for 20 hours, rinsed and put in fridge over night, the. Morning of made a mixture of butter and fresh herbs, chives, sage, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Then rubbed half inside skin and half outside.

The bird turned out extremely moist and best Turkey I have cooked.

IDK how I missed this when you originally posted it.

But...it turned out great.  Good for you.

Crisp skin?
